Notes
-----
In guitar riffs 2 and 3, the 18^(19) means pick the 18th fret, and
then bend up half a step to the 19th. Or even just pick the 17th and
bend up a full step. You could just pick the 19th, but that riff is
so monotonous with all that picking the same note over and over...
Guitar riff 7 is kind of a joke--it's that one note that's held for
the entire verse. In the studio, the Sisters used a synth with an
organ sound that's not unlike the lead guitar sound. It's not much
fun to pick that one note continuously for that long, so we used a
synth, too. Feedback would be a perfect expression of the note if
you're so fortunate as to be able to play loudly enough.
Guitar 2 plays exactly the same thing as the bass, except where riff 5
or 6 is indicated.
Ad lib heavily on guitar riffs 2, 3, and 4.
